Don’t yell at me, but I’ve never really been on Cillian Murphy’s jock. I like just fine, and I think he’s very talented. I would even consider him to be “vastly underrated” as an actor. But just on sheer “would I hit it?” factor… no. He has serial killer eyes and he looks like he’s always about to knife someone. Just my opinion.
Anyway, these are some photos of Cillian in Manchester, England yesterday. New haircut! He’s in costume on the set of Peaky Blinders, the English TV show that recently signed Tom Hardy to the cast of Season 2. Cillian and Tom… it feels like they’re probably old friends, right? They did Inception together and Cillian also had a cameo in The Dark Knight Rises. But I bet they’ve known each other for a while. I bet they came up in the London acting world together – Tom Hardy is 36, Cillian is 37. So they’re pretty much the same age. Same cultural references. I bet at one time, they were even up for the same parts.
As for the hair… I can’t. It looks like someone stuck a weak toupee on his shaved head. Ew. But no judgment if you want to hit it. Have at it!

Yummy
My words exactly. He’s gorgeous. And seems like a really decent guy.
And Peaky Blinders was amazing, I can’t wait for Series 2.
+1
Peaky Blinders is amazing. And before you knock his hair check out how good it looks in motion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgPMduUaYRk
@qwerty – I love that scene.
“Already broken” “cries silently”
One of my favourite scenes with my favourite actor. He’s drop dead gorgeous, not even that hair cut could do him harm.
Hit it…smack it…bang it….make it breakfast.
First, hit it til the cows made Irish cheese. 2nd, I had to post my reply up top because I can’t believe no one has mentioned ‘Red Eye,’ costarring Rachel McAdams. The suspense horror flick that spawned many a romantic fan fic about their two characters – which is weird because Cillian is a terrorist in it terrorizing Rachel the whole plane trip. But you get it when u watch the movie…he and Rachel had crazy chemistry.
@Basil: LOVED Red Eye and yes, I felt they did too.
I don’t like the hair on him at all. But other than that, yes I’d bang. I’d ask him to speak slowly to me like he did in Red Eye. WOO, the chills!
Nope nope nope nope…
Even when his hair was ‘normal’ I wouldn’t.
Oh hell yes!
YOP YES YESSSSS Fuck Yeah!! And we could have semi twinsies hair
Gurlll…I hope yours looks better than *that*. That is the other half of Kate Gosselins o’possum haircut from back in the day.
Kinda makes Macklemores hair look sorta good?! Ick
oohh yesss !!!! all day and night !!!
He so purty…..
Is that a new kitten? Adorable!
Yep it’s the new lil’ monster in the house 😉
I want to eat him up. With a spoon. Love, love, love Cillian!
I’ve found him…intriguing looking but that’s about it; he’s never floated my boat. He really does look like a serial killer, especially with the new haircut. If I saw him walking towards me I’d probably cross the street to get away.
He reminds me of Emily Blunt in these photos.
I see what you mean, but I love her & can’t stand him!
Really, really not.
I so would, but then I tend to always fancy the ‘serial killer’ look.
Weirdly, Peaky Blinders is set in 1920’s Birmingham and yet everyone in East London (men) are totally rocking this look right now. Checking around my office there’s at least 4 with identical haircuts to this. So… crap retro wig like hair is in fashion, apparently.
Oh my God, REALLY? you see real people rocking this hair? Clearly not stateside, yet!
Do you think it would come here? (Stateside?)
Toronto, new york city, montreal, boston, san francisco, portland, los angeles….yep, that hair is in north america. I love how it looks with pomade. And yes, it’s a retro style. There was even a bit of discussion online a year ago about the style’s association with Hitler’s youth followers, but it’s a fairly generic style from the 20-30s.
Europe.
Yep it’s quite in here in Finland.
I remember that cut being popular back in the ’90s here in the South.
yep. I agree and those with this hair AND beards I see alot. I think trendy ad agency / artist types. I do love that show and yes he is other worldly but I like him. I also like the baker caps they all wear as well.
Yep, it’s very ‘hipster’ along with beards and ironic horn-rimmed glasses even if you don’t need glasses.. This image summarises everything:

I love the hair! I love retro looks in general, but this one is esp. beautiful. I’m just not a fan of Cilian Murphy’s looks in general… So I’d do the hair, but not the guy haha..
isn’t it a chav or knacker haircut these days?
I think it’s actually more of a Hipster hair cut. That guy from the band Hurts (not the singer) sports a rather similar one.
In Manchester? Crikey, where? jumps out of bed, and i off to do some shopping.
I’ll meet you there.
I grant you the period haircut is offputting in stills. But in motion, completely fine. You don’t notice. You can even forgive the titular razor blades in the caps, such is Cillian’s alien beauty in the show. Cillian plus the Bloke. Just what I was looking for over on the moob thread.
I might make Sixlet Major make a Peaky Blinders tumblr for me. Well, I won’t. But I’ll amuse myself for ages thinking about it. Almost until the next series starts.
I’ll sulk if Benjamin Zephaniah doesn’t get another cameo. Jus’ sayin’.
No.
Serial killer indeed. Get him and Bradley Cooper in the same room, and the creep factor would go through the roof.
*edit*
and I forgot to add Jonathan Rhys Meyers into that group.
Hard pass.
Always, anytime, anywhere. He drives me crazy I think he’s so sexy. I just watched 28 Days Later recently and he was just plain gorgeous in that movie.
Plus, he is completely nude in the opening scene! Yum!
Really????? Is he yummy nude??
@lady, it’s an overhead view of him resting in a hospital bed, but everything appears in proportion!
No! Always find him scary.
Cilian had me @ 28 Days Later, albeit being scrawny @ the time. But I love anything zombie so any actor featured in zombie flicks are good with me. I like his build much better as of late. And indeed he has serial killer eyes – but they work. I was hoping to see more of him on the big screen. Off to put a pillow between my legs.
I’m with you Penny , he’s had me since 28 Days Later-” that was longer than a heartbeat’- best line ever combined with those piercing blue eyes . .and yes I’m a zombie girl too…
Nice to make your acquaintance Shanti. Maybe we should start a Hot men & Zombies fan club!
Not even if he kept his creepy, serial killer eyes shut the whole time.
He creeps me out.
YES, yes, and YES! Please and again.
Finally, some Cillian love. He’s unbelievably beautiful in Peaky Blinders in all those sharp suits.
I know he’s probably in a period piece, but I don’t understand how anyone ever thought this hair was attractive, even way back when. It’s like men with hair striving to look as if they threw on bad toupees instead.
I think he has beautiful eyes. That’s what I find most attractive about him.
The Wind that Shakes the Barley is a heartbreaking movie. He was just so sadly Irish.
I love the recommendations I get on this site! I’ll have to look up that movie.
Thanks!
🙂
I love that movie, I must have seen it a 100 times. And that song started my love for Irish music.
AANG, I loooove that movie!!! He is gorgeous and a great actor.
Yes I would. He is gorgeous when his hair is normal.
Oh yes.
He was Keira Knightley’s husband in “The edge of love”. Her weirdest hubby since “Silk”… And she was married to Michael Pitt then. I gotta tell you, this one will be hard to beat. *shudders*
Good movies yennifer???
Pretty good. The best performance by Sienna Miller I have ever seen.
No, no, no, no, nope. He gives me serious creeps.
Nope- I love him and I think he is attractive, however he reminds me strongly of my little brother- which explains my totally non sexual soft spot for all things Cillian.
I hear you. Norman Reedus (Daryl from walking Dead) looks exactly like my cousin. It’s uncanny. So while I have a huge sort spot for him I can not jump on the “he’s so sexy” bandwagon, I just read the comments and laugh about how attractive all these women would surely find my cousin.
LOL @kaiser “He has serial killer eyes and he looks like he’s always about to knife someone. Just my opinion.” SPOT ON
Hell yeah I’d hit it!
He was zenith-pretty in the Dark Knight trilogy. I would totally hit it, but that haircut is not doing him favors!
Poor Cillian, its not his fault that he has these piercing blue eyes. its not like he is bradley cooper reading lolita with his child bride being all creepy
By all accounts he lives a quiet life with his doctor wife and children in london.
I think he is a fine actor and especially when he was younger he had a unique beauty.
Doctor? She’s an artist I think
He plays a stone cold killer in Red Eye and quite hot in it too!
He WAS hot but I remember that movie being awful.
I was too busy drooling over Cilian to pay attention to the movie itself. So jealous of any lady playing his love interest. I like to pretend I’m Celine in 28 days – cuz she more closely resembles me out of all of them.
He always creeped me out until I watched Peaky Blinders. Im not sure if I just enjoyed his acting or his character or what, but yeah I’d be all over him. I don’t even usually like blue eyes.
And let me just sigh my way through some fanny gallops…. did you say TOM HARDY is joining the cast?! I have a feeling Im going to end up pregnant halfway through season two.
You people who are loving him i suspect would like him in ‘Breakfast On Pluto’. WATCH IT. Well done.
I always equate him to crispin glover…really talented, in everything and really creepy.
The “creepiness” gives him an edge. Without it, he’d just seem way too pretty and delicate for me to attracted. I find him quite sexy.
With a stick, maybe. Yecch.
What the heck is going on with his haircut. It looks like it was attacked by a lawnmower. And why are so many actors these days sporting the same haircut. Are they all filming period pieces?
So I guess saying he has a nazi haircut is not allowed?
He’s insanely hot if one happens to like tall, lean muscular pale guys with striking blue eyes and big shapely lips. I do I do! Bet he’s got a sexy accent too.
What’s interesting is his wife is very plain and average looking. Lucky her to be with him. That’s got to kind of suck though to have a husband that’s prettier than you…
Ruined.
But Sunshine CM and Wind/Barley CM will always spin.my.head. Such beauty.
Looks like Macklemore. (don’t know if said above! If so. Sorry didn’t have time to read comments, the hair “don’t” above was too easy to comment on!). 😀
Peaky Blinders is such a good show, I’m so happy they are filming season 2. Has Annabelle Wallis been spotted on set?!? (Fans of the show will know what I mean.) I love Cillian, on PB you do not notice his odd haircut at all.
He’s not on my to-do list, but I’d try it.
are ya’ll crazy? not only no but h*ll no!
are ya’ll crazy? not only no but h*ll no!
From the moment I saw him in 28 days later til now!
Maybe a couple years back, but forty is running right at him, and by the look of things it’s gonna hit him like a cement truck hitting a Smart-for-Two. And Peaky Blinders is an empty-headed mess: tons of style, zippo substance. Pretty photography and trendy music can’t make up for deficits in the writing department.
I disagree, he looks much younger than his age. I just realised M. Fassbender is younger than him, crazy.
God, I would hit it into the next postcode. He is sooo hot.
